| description | Use ResourceExtensions to apply ResourceDictionary directly to control styles for lightweight styling. Enables visual variants without page-level resources. |
| when_to_use | Use when applying a `ResourceDictionary` directly to a single control so it picks up a visual variant without declaring resources at page level — typically per-control color or brush overrides, or shared-base-style variants. |

Uno Toolkit Resource Extensions — Agent Skill
Workflow
Docs lookup: call uno_platform_docs_search(...) first, then uno_platform_docs_fetch(sourcePath="…") using the sourcePath field from a result (a relative .md path; add the result's anchor for a section). Never pass a URL, a .html link, or a hand-built path.
Step 1: Fetch the ResourceExtensions Documentation
uno_platform_docs_search("Uno Toolkit ResourceExtensions ResourceDictionary style lightweight inline")
Primary documentation pages:
- ResourceExtensions (Chefs):
external/uno.chefs/doc/toolkit/ResourceExtensions.md
Fetch the Chefs page:
uno_platform_docs_fetch(sourcePath="external/uno.chefs/doc/toolkit/ResourceExtensions.md")
Step 2: For Reference Documentation
uno_platform_docs_search("ResourceExtensions Resources attached property dictionary override")
Key Principles (Stable)
utu:ResourceExtensions.Resources — attaches a ResourceDictionary to a control- Enables per-control resource key overrides without nesting in page resources
- Great for creating multiple visual variants of the same control
- XAML namespace:
xmlns:utu="using:Uno.Toolkit.UI"
